Automatic to Manual

I have an automatic 85 rx7 I’m converting it to manual. Did the trans mounts, drive shaft. What is the procedure on mounting the pedal assembly?
thank you!

You only need the manual box long bolt, clutch pedal, brake pedal for manual, bushings, and clutch switch. No need for the entire box, they are the same. You'll need to take the driver's seat out, lay on your back, and put your head under the dash to get things apart and back together. It helps if you have a helper that can hand you stuff. It's not hard, just fiddly and very limited space.

Get the parts manual from here to see each part and how it goes together. http://www.foxed.ca

Thank you! Wasn’t sure if I needed the hole box for the pedals. Thanks again.
